Basic object manipulation

In this video, we'll look at the basic ways to manipulate geometry in 3D space, …namely Movement, Rotation and Scale. Now, these options are found under the …basic section in either the model or the model Quad tab. …You can see them represented by the arrows which is your Move tool, the disks …which is Rotation. And the cubes on the end of the axis, …which is your Scale tool. Additionally, there is a Transform tool …that does all of these built into one. But it has some different options so it's …worthwhile to know how each of these works individually.…

There are also hotkeys for all of these operations. …W is move, E is rotate, and R is scaled. And additionally, Y is the Transform tool …that lets you do all of those things built into one. …So, let's start by looking at the movement. …Now, you can see that there are axes up, down, left, and right. …By dragging on one of those specifically, the object will be constrained to motion …in that in that direction. There are also these circles, which are …

MODO is a 3D modeling and design application that can be used to create still and animated images in 3D space. In this workshop author, designer, and educator Ellery Connell introduces you to the MODO interface and workflow, teaching you how to create models, textures, lighting, animation, and finished renderings. This course prepares digital artists to enter the world of 3D in MODO and helps those already familiar with MODO get up to speed with the new tools introduced in MODO 601.
